Colombia June 2024: Kia signs first ever win

Kia is the most popular brand in Colombia in June.

14,571 new vehicles found a buyer in Colombia in June, a timid +0.9% year-on-year improvement. This is a very weak result given June 2023 was off -38.1% on the year prior. The H1 2024 volume stands at 85,281 sales, down -6.1% over the same period in 2023. Kia (+53.6%) signs its first ever monthly win in Colombia with a record 13.3% share, eclipsing its previous best of #2 and 13.1% share established just last month. Toyota (-16.9%) follows just 15 units below. Renault (-17.3%), Mazda (-22.9%) and Chevrolet (-17.3%) all freefall. In contrast the rest of the Top 10 beats the market, with Volkswagen (+50.2%) the most dynamic above Suzuki (+29.1%), Ford (+17.6%), Hyundai (+13.6%) and Nissan (+6.3%). Further down, BYD (+149%), Volvo (+135.4%), Mitsubishi (+178.7%) and Dongfeng (+212.5%) stand out.

Over in the models charts, the Mazda CX-30 (-14.7%) snaps the top spot for the first time since October and despite a year-on-year drop. It distances the Toyota Corolla Cross (+5.9%) for just 22 units, the latter holding onto the YTD top spot with a meagre 37 sales advantage over the CX-30. The Renault Duster, #1 last month and over the Full Year 2023, is down to #3. The Kia Picanto (-10.2%) is up one rank to #4 ahead of the new Kia K3 down three to #5. Excellent month for the Toyota Prado (+95.6%) and Chevrolet Joy (+40.1%) although both models fall down the charts compared to May. The Kia Stonic lurches up from outside the May Top 75 directly into #18 while the new BYD Seagull lands at #28.
